On Monday, September 8, the family of Dr. Ronald Wu made a donation in his remembrance and treated Adventist Health Glendale associates to In-N-Out Burger.

What is Dr. Wu's legacy? Dr. Wu is one of our most beloved and impactful physicians. As an OB/GYN, he delivered more than 20,000 babies — some of whom now work at Adventist Health Glendale!

Dr. Wu served our hospital and the Glendale community for almost 50 years. He passed away in 2020.

Thank you, Wu family, for your generous contribution and continued support.

The International Association for Su***de Prevention’s theme for Su***de Prevention Day is "Changing the Narrative on Su***de." This is about reframing how we perceive this complex issue from a culture of silence to one of openness, empathy, and support.

At Adventist Health, this is just the environment we are working to create.

If you know someone struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts, reach out and offer support and hope. If you are struggling with these thoughts yourself, ask for help. We know it can be hard to share these thoughts with others, but your life is worth living. If you do not know who to reach out to, call or text 988 to connect with a counselor at the National Su***de and Crisis Lifeline. Conversations are free and confidential.

Getting a flu shot every year is important for your health and the health of the people you love. When you’ve received the shot, you’re less likely to get the flu and spread it to people at high risk of complications, such as adults older than 65, women who are pregnant and infants. Follow these simple tips to make this important vaccination easier.

Find out what to do before and after your flu shot to make the process easier. Learn how to manage arm soreness, activities to avoid and post-flu shot care.

Meet Reilly Waddington, a new grad joining the team at Adventist Health Howard Memorial.

We asked Reilly which "Be Statement" from our core values resonates with her most. She chose "Be a Force for Good."

“I resonate with the statement ‘Be a Force for Good’ because I feel this is the basis of working in healthcare — to have a positive impact on our patients, our team, hospital, and community. To work each day to improve not just ourselves, but the lives around us.”

When she’s not delivering compassionate care, Reilly loves getting outside to hike and backpack.

And a fun fact: Reilly owns a snake — because "dogs aren’t allowed in rentals."

We’re so excited to have Reilly bringing her adventurous spirit and passion for making a difference to our team!

Protecting your health never goes out of style. Even if you were fully vaccinated as a kid, vaccines are still important as an adult. From flu to shingles and pneumococcal, staying up to date matters. Find out which adult vaccines are recommended and when you should get them.

There’s a common misconception that only the elderly or people chronically ill need to worry about getting vaccinated. But even if you’re a healthy adult, it’s important to stay up to date.

To the women who heal, lead, support, and inspire: thank you!

We're celebrating a $1 million gift and a powerful partnership with Valley Strong Credit Union. This generous donation will help expand our cardiac catheterization lab (cath lab) at Adventist Health Hanford. Cath labs are facilities where diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related to the heart and blood vessels are performed using catheters or tubes. By expanding from one cath lab to five, our team will be able to serve 2,000+ patients each year and provide life-saving care close to home.

This gift will elevate our cath lab waiting area and overall experience for patients and their families.

Thank you, Valley Strong Credit Union, for sharing our commitment to building a healthier and stronger future for the communities we serve.
